Acronis True 2014 Image needs USERNAME and PASSWORD from \\vmware-host (Shared Folders).
I try to make a Backup from a host-device to a guest-device using Acronis TI 2014.
My host-device (internal hdd) is embeded into guest System using "vmware Shared Folders".
(guest-OS is Windows 7 Enterprise and host-OS is Windows 10 Enterprise).
Now, if I click on "Back up now" it says:
"Error occurred: Access to the file or folder is denied. (0x40014) filename = "\\?\UNC\vmware-host\Shared Folders\backup-source"
When I go to backup-settings there's allways occurring a login-prompt where you have to type in your username and password for //vmware-host SMB-File-Share.
I tried to reinstall Acronis, I tried to reinstall System, I tried first to upgrade vmware-tools, after I tried to downgrade it (maybe new vm-tools have bug)... I tried quiet much stuff ... nothing changed.
And by the way: Acronis TI 2014 is not supported anymore, so I couldn't ask there support (And new Acronis TI are sucks because of there gui).
This Error just occurred after I upgraded VMware Workstation Pro from 12.5.4 to 12.5.5. (12.5.6 doesen't work as well). Before Upgrade all worked fine with Back up my data.
So, because the Error says: Access denied and it asks me for SMB-Login, it could correspond with the //vmware-host Driver or the SMB-connection-set-up of VMware.
So, either I need a USERNAME and a PASSWORD to login to my Shared Folders, or I need a new vmware-tools-driver for SMB, which works without error.
Thanks for help guys!
